Aaron Rodgers had one of the worst games of his career during the New York Jets' loss to the Buffalo Bills last week.
The lowlight was an interception, followed by a late hit penalty. To make all that feel even worse, Rodgers was fined $11,255 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness.
The Jets had zero offensive points with Rodgers on the field. The offense scored 14 with Tyrod Taylor, not close to enough to avoid a 40-14 loss. On Sunday, Rodgers will start against the Miami Dolphins in which might very well be his last game for the Jets – or even in his NFL career.
To protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.
Players are notified of violations and may appeal any ruling. Cases are heard by appeals officers and former NFL players, Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, Kevin Mawae, or Jordy Nelson, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA. The decisions made are final and binding.
The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.
The Jets have been one of the most frequently penalized teams in football.
